Deere-est Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 great pictures bas, often wondered why that sort of trailer has never really taken off over here, i asume they are just maize/ grass usage, they dont tip for say grain? Far too big is the main issue. Also on a hill it could all go wrong! Aswell as that the price of these trailers couldn't be justified in the cut throat pricing which contractors do to get business here. Trailers earn very little really and farmers wouldn't pay the premium here to justify what is a specialist bit of kit really. Shame, they're far superior.

But what is the price for grass and maize harves in the UK? texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Around £50/ac in my area Bas so that would be something like 165/ha I think. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 That's grass and includes mowing and raking. Maize I don't know but will find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 That's grass and includes mowing and raking. Maize I don't know but will find out soon. But that is good price i think. When i am right 25 acres is 10 hectare. grass sillage for 10 hectare is about €600 ( harverster, 2 trailers and a loader) for 2 hours work overhere. grass sillage for 10 hectare is then (50x25acres) is 1250 pounds ( €1375) in the UK. 1375-600= €775 I don't know the prices for raking and mowing overhere but i think it will not cost €750 for 10 hectare. Mayebe i missed something but when i am right there isnt that big diffirence. So on flat land in the UK big trailers could work. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I hope! I think the cost would mean it would take a long time for the trailer to earn the money back. A silage trailer he would be up to £14,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silage trailer he would be up to £14,000. That could be reason. Overhere they only use the most off time only 2 trailers for grass silage and not 3 smaller ones so 1 tractor,trailer and driver and fuel ( fuel price is real problem overhere) less. But it is hard to compare contractors from overall the world. texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Very difficult indeed, Bas. It is very interesting to compare though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 £50/acre = £125/hectare = €138/hectare at today's exchange rate. Interesting that in Holland you charge grass silage by the hour, far fairer for all concerned. Grass quantity varies so much an hourly rate would give an equivalent tonne/hour output.

Deere-est Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think we charge by the hour after 1st cut is done. We get farmers asking if a light crop means a discounted price. Obviously when a heavy crop means an inflated price then they are happy with the fixed price they are getting! Cheeky!

griffithsbros Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 isnt the spout longer to compensate the height of the trailers and how far back they are when opening up a maize field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 had a feeling it would be a size and cost issue, over here a trailer will be needed for silage maize and grain for our contractors, you couldnt justify a trailer for 2 and then another for the 3rd task, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i have also seen a joskin cargo ( grain trailer) with extra boards on it for silage. Those trailer can load allot silage. texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The 870 has a strange tyre/wheel package, I wonder if he runs with duals sometimes. It does look good with the red chute matching the Kemper header and red wheels. Lovely trailers again. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
